Fatty alcohols are aliphatic alcohols consisting of a chain of a least six carbon atoms. Thus, 2-octanol is considered to be a fatty alcohol lipid molecule. 2-octanol is slightly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). 2-octanol is an earthy, fat, and fresh tasting compound found in common buckwheat, corn, and ginger, which makes 2-octanol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. 2-octanol is used such as or as a raw material in various applications: flavors and fragrances, paints and coatings, inks, adhesives, home care, lubricants and fuels. 2-Octanol can be a biobased alternative of 2-ethylhexanol and its derivates in numerous applications . 1-Methyl-1-heptanol 1-Methylheptyl alcohol 2-Capryl alcohol 2-Hydroxyoctane beta-Octyl alcohol FEMA 2801 Hexylmethylcarbinol Methylheptanol Methylhexylcarbinol n-Octan-2-ol Octan-2-ol sec-Caprylic alcohol C8H18O 130.2279 130.135765198 octan-2-ol 2-octanol 123-96-6 CCCCCCC(C)O InChI=1S/C8H18O/c1-3-4-5-6-7-8(2)9/h8-9H,3-7H2,1-2H3 SJWFXCIHNDVPSH-UHFFFAOYSA-N belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty alcohols.
